Some advice
Alright i just lost about 10k again tonight after promising myself never to play highstakes again. Ill post the hand for enjoyment at the bottom.
Now we all know certain things that are just terrible for poker players to do and one of them is to take shots way too high, play drunk, tilt, etc. So my post is going to have nothing to do with these things. We all know not to do them but occasionly they happen and to me they happen too much. Im in no place to give lessons on the most important part of poker which are the things listed above but ill try to give ssnl some advice on other things while i take my hiatus (forced myself on a 30 day break from poker by banning myself). 1. Stop playing your cards so much. For once forget what you have and just think what your oppenent has. Thats why position is so important. I hear some many ssnl players talk about position being important but i see so few exploiting it. Float more, mix up your play, c/r on a flop u missed such as 44 on a 389 board. 2. Stop playing so many tables. I see way too many players playing 9 tables on so on but i think 6 should be the max. Every hand i see posted comes with statistics as the read on a player. "My read on Player Z is he is a 20/16/3 over 40 hands." This information is basically pointless because it digs very thinly into how the player actually plays and the sample size is useless. You have to play less tables and actually get more reads on certain players. At 200 nl and below most regs have such glaring weaknesses that you can easily exploit them. Just stop seeing them as a 19/15/3 and figure out how to beat them. 3. Bet more, check raise more, b/3bet more etc. Play especially at 1/2 nl is so much easier when you take aggression into your hands more. If i hear playing for pot control one more time with AA on a ragged board im going to go mad. Its ok to put yourself into a difficult spot by going for thinner value than normal, do your best to correctly identify the situation/player/ and so on to make the right decision. By making these "pot control" decisions your are just making moving up that much infinately harder. 4. I have lots of other things I wanna say but im really mad at myself mostly for playing nosebleed again that ill just go for one more, the thing i think is by far the most crucial. Have fun. I know thats so cliche but i see so many people grinding, moaning, and playing so robotic they hate the game. Treat it what it is, a game. Have fun with it and forget about the monetary value. Its kind of the play hard/work hard mentality and hopefully it will pay off in the long run. okerStars Game #12814527941: Hold'em No Limit ($25/$50) - 2007/10/24 - 06:34:06 (ET) Table 'Arethusa' 9-max Seat #6 is the button Seat 1: maximilian74 ($2947 in chips) Seat 2: Grisen ($1394 in chips) Seat 3: Leatherass9 ($5725 in chips) Seat 4: p3achy_keen ($12658 in chips) Seat 5: Vaga_Lion ($9935 in chips) Seat 6: alexeimartov ($11220 in chips) Seat 7: luckybacon ($6980 in chips) Seat 9: Empire2000 ($5344 in chips) luckybacon: posts small blind $25 Empire2000: posts big blind $50 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to luckybacon [Ah 9c] maximilian74: folds Grisen: folds Leatherass9: folds p3achy_keen: folds Vaga_Lion: folds alexeimartov: raises $100 to $150 luckybacon: raises $300 to $450 Empire2000: folds alexeimartov: calls $300 *** FLOP *** [9h Ts 6h] luckybacon: bets $600 alexeimartov: calls $600 *** TURN *** [9h Ts 6h] [8d] luckybacon: bets $1300 alexeimartov: calls $1300 *** RIVER *** [9h Ts 6h 8d] [6d] luckybacon: checks alexeimartov: bets $8870 and is all-in luckybacon: calls $4630 and is all-in *** SHOW DOWN *** alexeimartov: shows [Th Kd] (two pair, Tens and Sixes) luckybacon: mucks hand alexeimartov collected $14007 from pot alexeimartov said, "value" alexeimartov said, "town" *** SUMMARY *** Total pot $14010 | Rake $3 Board [9h Ts 6h 8d 6d] Seat 1: maximilian74 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: Grisen folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 3: Leatherass9 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: p3achy_keen folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 5: Vaga_Lion folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: alexeimartov (button) showed [Th Kd] and won ($14007) with two pair, Tens and Sixes Seat 7: luckybacon (small blind) mucked [Ah 9c] Seat 9: Empire2000 (big blind) folded before Flop

Re: Some advice
Yikes bacon, I dont know your bankroll situation but I am sure this must sting. Good luck recovering, and taking a break is a good idea.
Also how sick good is martov?
